In Zhelyo Voivoda village, a flock of sheep infected with smallpox will be euthanized after laboratory tests confirmed that the animals are indeed infected.
BNR’s correspondent in Sliven reports, citing the local administration, that the animals were put down in a humane way. The entrances and exits to the village are being guarded by the police to make sure the ban on the transportation of live animals is being observed. 
The infected flock of around 150 sheep is being guarded by the police. Some of the animals are already dead. The locals are complaining that because of constant infections they will have no livestock to look after soon.
